Body Count have confirmed that their next album will be titled “Carnivore.“ The band have yet to start writing for the effort, but they are hoping to start recording in September.
Ice-T told Loudwire the following about the title:
“It’s basically: ‘Fuck vegans.’ We figure, anything carnivorous pretty much kicks ass. We’re carnivorous! I’m not [really] saying ‘Fuck vegans.’ Everyone’s so pussy right now, [so] we’re carnivores.”
He added:
“We haven’t written a lyric! We start out albums with a name, that’s how we started ‘Bloodlust‘. We’re probably going to start recording tracks in September.”
He also extended an invitation to established rock and metal musicians that would be interested in guesting on the album. One guest that he is planning on using is Six Feet Under’s Chris Barnes:
“Chris Barnes told me he would kill me if he doesn’t get on this next album. because I worked with Six Feet Under. People like Chris Barnes, I don’t want to get him mad, because I know he might dissect me or some shit, so we’re gonna get some death metal on there from original Cannibal Corpse.”
